POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON 2 STARTERS AND PARTNERS

Choosing your Starter

The process of choosing your Starter is the same as that of the original Mystery Dungeon games. When you first begin your game, you will be prompted to answer some personality questions, with the purpose of determining which Pokemon you will become. After you have answered the personality questions, you will be prompted to provide your gender. Based on your personality and gender, the game will then determine which Pokemon you will become. This will be your main character throughout the main storyline.

While the game asks you to answer the questions honestly, you are of course free to provide any answer. As such, if you are aiming for a specific Pokemon, you should aim to match its personality when answering the questions. Unlike Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue Rescue Teams, however, there are no longer any Starters that are limited to a particular gender.

Here is a list of the Starter Pokemon and their corresponding personalities and genders. There are a total of 16 Starters.

Choosing your Partner

After you have chosen your starter (or rather the game has chosen your starter for you), you will be prompted to choose a Pokemon to serve as your partner. This Pokemon will be an important character as he/she will remain part of your team on every mission until the main storyline is completed. As such, it would be wise to choose a partner Pokemon who will complement your starter well.

Note that you cannot choose Meowth, Skitty, nor Munchlax as your partner. You also cannot select a partner who shares the same type as your starter. For instance, if your starter is a Squirtle, you will not be able to choose Totodile, Mudkip or Piplup as your partner.
